Earth

Earth is the birthplace of Luminous and every founding resident. Its states no longer govern Luminous people, technology, or institutions.

Withdrawal is final in law and daily practice. Residents can contact family and close friends. Approved visits remain rare. Residents cannot keep Earth employment, political offices, or financial interests.

Luminous does not treat Earth as an enemy. Its leaders deem Earth institutions unready for technology that removes material scarcity. States, companies, and armed groups still compete for control and advantage.

Formal contact stays narrow and procedural. Each channel exists to prevent panic, errors, and harm. Luminous does not use these channels for recruitment or public promotion.
